Mid Atlantic Society for Historic Swordsmanship

MASHS is a group of dedicated enthusiasts and practitioners who come together to study, analyze, and practice Historical European Swordsmanship and Western Martial Arts. Since its founding in April, 2000, MASHS' focus has been on Medieval weapons, Renaissance sword arts, and later period dueling swords. We use real techniques based on historical manuals and treatises. We also develop practical tactical experience through drilling and safe bouting using historically accurate replica weapons and simulators. We are part of a growing movement dedicated to Western Martial Arts and generally follow the precepts and training methodologies common to many other groups. While we enjoy great relationships with our colleagues, we are in fact an independent martial study society.

Zen Warrior Armory

We are proud to welcome the folks from North Carolina who have been satisfying our Historical and Sport fencing needs for decades. It is unusual to find a fencer who doesn't have a few items for Zen or Triplette in their bag.
